Hiatus

December…
The time for pause and reflection on a year well spent (or not).
No more shows to watch…
Almost actually.
Leverage is still on!
Thank you TNT for this wonderful scheduling.
Putting a new show up against Christmas and family.
Wow.

Meanwhile the BBC has announced yesterday that Survivors will have a second season.
The pilot was pretty great I though, and after that it became kinda average (although I love the opening credits).
I still don’t understand why introduce all the creepy Fringe-like lab scenes if you’re not gonna resolve any of it.
My guess is Patterson Joseph won’t return for season 2 as he’ll probably be the next Doctor Who.

Nielsen has declared that 6.8% of households are “completely unready for switchover” to DTV.
I hope that’s not the case for you.
Or your TV is going dark on Feb. 17.

I am going myself on a blog-post hiatus until next year (that means less than 2 weeks for those who don’t keep tabs).
But don’t worry, I’ll post tomorrow Part Two of the Black List SOTW Edition.

I’m now off to party at my B-Day fiesta.

Happy holidays, happy new year, and happy Chrismukkah!

And it begins

Enigmatic post title, eh?
Well not really.

First, the casting for ABC’s Flash Forward has finally begun with Courtney Vance cast as Stan Wedeck and Jack Davenport as Lloyd Simcoe.

Look to your right to catch the pilot script.

I thought it was a good pilot. I completely see why people would want to match it with Lost. The way it is told is certainly reminiscent of a mythological show like Lost. I’ve already got a couple theories going on in my head!

For those who read the book, the show seems to be completely different so don’t worry.
And if you’re thinking of getting spoiled off the book, don’t get your hopes up. The book’s explanation for the FF is some pseudo-science stuff that is way too complicated for national TV.

Also, Caprica (BSG’s prequel show) is finally set to begin.
I’ll let that post-title double pun sink in now for a while.

Okay?
All Good?

Let me repeat: Caprica has finally had a series order.

Happy?

I posted several months back about the pilot so if you want to glean a tinsy bit of info on that script check the small post. Although you’ll probably be better off finding your own copy of the pilot script by now.

Also, beginning (or rather continuing) is Showtime’s momentum, growing at an impressive rate. 2008 is Sho’s fifth consecutive year of growth, with a 7% increase of subscribers in the last 12 months.
The L.A. Times has just published a pretty interesting piece around the reasons behind Sho’s success.
As usual, a business eye in the TV world nowadays is not a must but a given. So get involved in SRS BSNS if you know what I mean.
I sense a shift of cable-power coming up.

Don't chime in

We’ve had our fair share of strange events throughout 2008 but next year is gonna open with some crazier choices.

Case in point: NBC announced the other day its January schedule, as in only January, not mid-season schedule.

Life, Chuck and Heroes won’t be back in January.
They will probably premiere around mid-February for a continuous run without repeats similar to Lost’s.

Kings is still unanounced.

Without much surprise, My Own Worst Enemy, Lipstick Jungle and Crusoe won’t be back at all.

Wondering what’s replacing those shows?
Two words: Howdie & Dancing.
Meaning a hidden-camera show hosted by Howdie Mandel and another, again, dancing competition.

Oh and there’s the usual L&O repeats.

FNL’s season 3 is on Fridays but chances are if you’re a fan, you’ve already seen it.

SNL will try to re-create the Election magic but with sports, bringing Saturday Night Live Sports Extra to NBC’s Sundays.
They’ll also try to revive Saturday Night Live Film Festival.
Is SNL Fashion Edition next?
God I hope not.

Meanwhile, Crap Rider will be back in Jan., still showing on Wednesdays.

Prepare to be bored to death in January on NBC.
